Lancer offers sportiness at an affordable price

Drivers with bad credit may think that they can’t afford a sporty driving experience, but that’s simply not the case. By applying online, drivers can find out exactly where they stand in terms of car loans and find out what price range of vehicles they can look at.

Many assume that if they want power and performance, they’ll have to make do with an older used car with lots of miles on it. Yet drivers should be aware that they can get a new Mitsubishi Lancer for around $14,000 – and by doing so, they’ll have a ride that’s a slight cut above traditional economy cars.

Base options like the Nissan Versa or Kia Forte are great for those who simply want to get from A to B, and these cars typically come in at a bit cheaper than a Lancer. But drivers will be getting the bare minimum in an automobile. For those who want a slightly sportier ride, the Lancer may be a great choice.

According to Edmunds, the car is “more fun to drive” than its competitors thanks to “its higher performance and sportier styling.” The base level four-cylinder engine cranks out 152 horsepower while still getting a solid 25 miles per gallon combined. And for drivers with slightly improved credit, the Lancer quickly improves its performance as drivers step up in price, upgrading to larger and more powerful engines at subsequent trim levels.
